Question 1: Step 1: Total paintings Leonardo Da Vinci has = 6 There are 6 options to choose 1st painting, 5 options to choose 2nd painting, 4 options to choose 3rd painting. Step 2: Number of ways 3 paintings can be chosen from 6 is = 6 * 5 * 4 = 120 No. of arrangements of paintings on the wall = 120 Answer: D. 120 arrangements Question 2: Step 1: No. of unique three-digit numbers with digits {3, 4, 5} is = 3 * 2 * 1 = 6 These 6 numbers will have 6 / 3 = 2 times 3 as hundreds digit, 2 times 4 as hundreds digit and 2 times 5 as hundreds digit. The same with tens and unit digits. Step 2: Therefore, the sum of all three-digit numbers Elmo wrote = 100 (2 * 3 + 2 * 4 + 2 * 5) + 10 (2 * 3 + 2 * 4 + 2 * 5) + (2 * 3 + 2 * 4 + 2 * 5) = (24) * (100 + 10 + 1) = 24 * 111 = 2664 Answer: E. 2 664 Question 3: Step 1: Total available seats = 6 No. of friends needs to be seated = 5 So, 1st friend has 6 options, 2nd friend has 5 options left, 3rd friend has 4 options, 4th friend has 3 options and 5th friend has 2 options. Step 2: No. of ways 5 friends can sit on 6 seats = 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 = 720 Answer: D. 720 ways ©Scholarly 2025. All rights reserved.

Step 1: Miss Piggy wants to pick 2 snacks and 2 drinks. No. of ways she can choose 2 snacks from 5 options = (5 * 4)/2 = 10 ways No. of ways she can choose 2 drinks from 5 options = (5 * 4)/2 = 10 ways Step 2: No. of different ways Miss Piggy can pick = 10 * 10 = 100 ways Answer: D. 100 ways Question 11: Step 1: First letter: 3 choices (P, Q, or R) Second letter: 2 remaining choices Step 2: So, number of codes = 3 × 2 = 6 Codes: PQ, PR, QP, QR, RP, RQ Answer: E. 6 Question 12: Step 1: Archie plans to visit Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. To visit each city once, on the first visit he can choose to visit from 3 cities, on the 2nd visit he has 2 options left, on the 3rd visit he has 1 option left. Step 2: No. of different orders he can visit the 3 cities = 3 * 2 * 1 = 6 ways Answer: B. 6 ways Question 13: Step 1: To create a distinct taco, one option from each category must be chosen. Multiply the no. of options from each category = 3 types of taco shells * 4 types of meat * 3 types of cheese * 5 types of salsa. Step 2: Therefore, the no. of distinct tacos can be ordered = 3 * 4 * 3 * 5 = 180 ©Scholarly 2025. All rights reserved.
